1930's-40's Mickey Mantle Childhood Photographs Lot of 6....

Description

1930's-40's Mickey Mantle Childhood Photographs Lot of 6. A
signed letter of provenance from the Mick's cousin reads, in part,
"In the 1930's the Holt and Mantle families were next door
neighbors in Spavinaw, OK. My father Orville Holt married my mother
Thelma Mantle. The best man was my mother's brother Elvin who was
also my father's best friend. The maid of honor was my mother's
best friend Lovell Richardson. Lovell and Elvin also married and
their first child was Mickey Mantle." Four of the photos
picture a child too young for definitive identification, but we are
quite confident that they do indeed picture the infant and toddler
Mickey. The other two are unquestionably the future Yankee great in
his teenaged years, housed in period mounts, one stamped,
"Jacobs Studio, Commerce, Okla." The photos exhibit wear but
present quite well overall, and measure (not including mounts
3.5x3.5" to 4x6" in size. Letter of provenance from cousin of
Mickey Mantle.
